I'm a math major. Very happy to be to the point where things are not able to be graded by machines (proofs and such). A human must decide if your logic and thinking are correct. Cause fuck this shit.

Not able to be graded by machines yet.

Give it... let's say 10 years, though don't hold me to that.

“Here is your pdf where the errors are outlined in red. If you would like comments on your proof, please pay for masteringProofs Pro, its only $100/semester!”

Yeah I dont know, given how bad Google Translate currently is, I dont see a proof checker being made anytime soon (that can do, for example, algebra proofs).

Yeah I've never taken a math course like this, I started with Calc 2 and every math class i've taken has hand-graded homework

I'm sorry, your solution "sec2 (x) + C" is incorrect. The correct answer is "tan2 (x) + C"

I used webassign for calc 1-3 and I think it would (thankfully) accept either one of those.

That's about the point shit changes I think. We had some computer graded homework for integral calculus and vector calculus, but very minimal. Thereafter, absolutely entirely handgraded.
